Suspending / Unsuspending a Domain Name

Order Suspension is a useful feature available to Resellers of Smart Baba. Typically, you may need to Suspend domain names in response to abuse complaints or when you haven't received payment towards domain name registration/renewal/transfer services, etc..

Suspending a domain name would result in disruption of all services associated with a domain name such web hosting, email hosting, etc..

Smart Baba does not support the Suspension / Unsuspension feature for domain names under the following TLDs (extensions), due to restrictions imposed by the Registry:

.CA

.DE

.EU

.NL

.UK

The Contact Details and Name Servers of such a domain name can not be modified while a domain name is Suspended.

A Transfer (Away) Request for this domain name to another Registrar will fail at the Registry itself and will not be allowed.

However, when you Suspend a .AU domain name, it can still get Transferred since the .AU Registry prohibits blocking Transfers.

Domain name Renewal and Deletion would not be possible.

An Move/Push/Transfer of this domain name to another Customer Account would not be possible in this state.

A domain name Suspended by you, can only be Unsuspended by you or Smart Baba.

You will not be able to Unsuspend a domain name Suspended by Smart Baba.

A Customer can not Unsuspend a domain name under any circumstance.
